Hello,

I going to Fiji in August for 3 weeks.
Does anybody have some information about kitesurf in fiji?
I have no idea where to go to have the best conditions possible.

If you guys have also some advice concerning accomodation and other things to do or see over there, I'd be happy to hear from you
Thanks!

Hoo, It doesn't look like a perfect place according to you?!
Do you know if there are some spots around Suva?

Fiji is hit and miss mate....

check out windguru for the expected winds

Thanks a lot for your helps guys!

I'll go to Suva through Nadi first, then I don't know yet...
I'll be there 3 weeks from the 28 July so we should be able to meet there!
I'll send you guys a PM.
Nagigia looks really great... will look for information about this place!

I saw many of you guys are from QLD, I'm heading up there next week.
Where are you exactly? I'd like to kite with you in QLD!

I am in Noosa an always up for a sesh so give us a hoy if you get here.

I live in Suva, when the wind is on like this week it's great. We have all tide conditions, and a huge seawall to kite behind for perfectly flat butter.
The left is pretty good. Not much of a paddle wave but with a kite it can be surfed.

The coral coast generally has more wind but u will find it hard to get a low tide spot as the coral lagoons get exposed.

Sigatoka is a huge open beach with a river mouth that gets decent swell and cranking winds. The only real beachy in Fiji.

Navua was discovered for kiting by My friend and myself many years ago when we lived in Pac Harbour. It's got a faily close outer reef and sand bars close to shore, pretty shallow but safe, can ride all tides. High is good for the reef and low is good for mucking around the sandbars.

A friend of mine part owns Nagigia so i can pass your email to him.

i have been to Taveuni but not kited there. It does get wind and it's small enough to find a lagoon with the right wind direction.

Most of the good wind lately has been with rain, we do get nice sunny days with good wind too. but on those rainy days it does get cold and we all go out in wetty's. A spring suit or a good vest may be enough.

Never been lucky enough to be @ the Fijian with wind and my kites, but it does look like the waves can be fun. Not really surfable though.
The lagoon there is good, heaps of wind but too shallow @ low tide.
However Sigatoka is 10 min drive for your low tide sesh.

In that area there is a beach called Natadola, it's got a really cool left that would be kitable. It's a fair way out off the island. I have taken footage of dudes towing in getting double overhead barrels out there.
It has now a recently opened Intercontinental resort.
The beach is probably the nicest beach in fiji but the wind wud be offshore at the resort and side on on the other side of the bay.

Thinking of giving Rydges Hideaway Resort located on the Coral Coast a shot, seems great for a family stay. But whats it like more importantly for kitesurfing?
Constant winds,
Baz.

Thanks Fecal,
We are flexible about where to stay, as long as the location has the facilities for the kids. Are there any resorts at Sigatoka or Novua beach that would fit the bill.
Thanks,
Baz.

Hey Baz check out the Uprising beach resort in Pacific Harbour then you are about 20min from Novua Beach and about 40min from Sigatoka and if it is windy enough you will be able to kite out the front of the Uprising resort itself.
